Grease Leaking From Front Hubs

[shadango]

Doing a brake job on our 2011 V6 Stang.......found that there is grease leaking from both front hubs, onto the centers of the rotors. Diddint seem to be actually contaminating the brake surfaces yet but .....is this common ? Is there a seal inside the caps or something?

Most of the time a bad seal will leak grease from the other side hub assembly. Did you buy your Mustang New? If not, maybe the last owner had the wheel bearings repacked and they put a little too much grease in it. The wheel side of the bearings don't have a seal, as far as I know

We bought it new, hubs have never been off.

Probably nothing to worry about.......

Plus of grease does get on the rotor surface it will keep brake squeaking down, right? LOL
